ATTN: Help stop Air America from hiring Taylor Marsh.
Taylor Marsh who I have listed plenty of posts about is encouraging her Fox News loving drones to write Air America to pick up her fake "radio" show. She is a fake progressive who is constantly railing against the "progressive elitists" of the Democratic Party like the "sexist pigs" Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy etc.(her words) Please send comments to Air America threatening a boycott if they pick up faux radio personality Taylor Marsh(despite her bios she has never really been published or had a radio show)

http://airamerica.com/contact


Here are some links to things discovered about her and her audience:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5405661

Here is an example of the comments her adoring fans have left..(Marsh reads and responds actively to her commentors..so she knows what they say and doesn't mind... often agreeing)

On bittergate

-Fox News(sorry but I am still addicted to it lol), especially Hannity are giving enormous time to this story. FINALLY! Anyone who can stand to watch the liberal media, are they covering it or is Tweety getting more tingles???

-Hannity says he's going to go after this again on Monday night. Stay tuned, folks!

-I think Hannity's literally salivating that he's got some more red meat to devour. He's been trying so hard lately to keep hammering away at Wright, Ayers, etc., challenging the media to investigate

-I LOVE HANNITY On Sunday they will explore Obama's ties to the terrorist Ayer

-Combes is spinning in circles right now. Trying to deflect and not talk about Obama as best he can right now. Switched from it to McCain's NY times affair and his wifes reaction. What a jackass.

-Alan Combs trying his best to try and make light of the situation. Very testy and confrontational right now.

-Hannity says this is HUGE can turn the election , I believe Hillary REALLY has a case to be made

-Not sure if this has been posted. Here is Obama addressing the controversy tonight in Indiana. It makes me want to vomit:

-right now Fox is the only channel offering somewhat of a fair coverage. The liberal media has left me with no choice at this time.

-There is no HOPE for CNN... I am sticking to Fox

-He's(Anderson Cooper) also an elitist, as is Kerry, Kennedy, and all the rest of them.

-I wrote WEKKS ago about let's get rid of Jack (Jerk) Caferty.

-Maybe Obama's inner "White Republican" is fighting with his outer "Black Democrat" - ergo the slips...............

-Maybe Obama knew he could never get the political backing to go far in politics as a black Republican.

-Maybe he voted liberal just like he chose his church......To get political backing...............

-obama's comments in sf... he was comparing pennsylvania to germany in the late thirties before hitler

-he is the face of the NEW democratic party. Look at the joker we democrats had as the nominee in 2004. Look at our illustrious "leaders", dean, pelosi, etc. Nope, arrogant, elitist, narcisitic, fit them all.

-Hey Dean, Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy, and especially Bradley, Hart, Kerry, Dean your Golden One doesnt GET IT and neither did you Americans do get it, the Clintons get it

-Unlike John Kerry, Obama is not an elite; he is a "want to be elite".

-A vote for McCain is a vote against the "changed" Democratic Party.

-So I'm not voting for Obama. In fact, I'm not even a dem anymore.

3. Now wait
We heard all during the Randi thing, that if she was fired for her views it was evil censorship. But now, these views somehow disqualify. So, is it censorship or not.

6. Randi is a democrat. Taylor Marsh isn't...
Look at the comments. Do you want that kind of audience captivated by Air America. Doesn't that audience have enough radio personalities to choose from like Rush, Hannity, or Oreilly.

23. either they have a right to guard their reputation or they don't
you can't have it both way. Incidently I think both Randi and Taylor shouldn't be on Air America for much the same reason, they both would sully the repuation. But if you say Randi has a right to her opinions outside of work then so does Taylor.

30. I see a difference between Taylor and Randi's idiotic and insulting opinions..
Randi doesn't encourage her people to vote for McCain if Clinton wins. Taylor's website is a cesspool of "vote for McCain if Obama wins" encouragement.

12. Rumors are all over the blogosphere that they she is in...
consideration... (I can't seem to find any links to verify) but on Taylor's site she has this.

Doing radio is a wild ride. If you're not on the air it's hard to get an opportunity. The other challenge is that progressive hosts are locked out in many instances and markets. Once you're off the air it's even tougher to get back on. Obviously, we've been working to get back on the air for quite a while. But I can't do this alone.

If you want to listen to me live please get involved. Keep my name in front of Air America, but also XM.

Another goal is to get someone fair to Hillary Clinton up on the airwaves, which will be especially important if she's the nominee. Wingnut radio will give her a lot of trouble. As for the immediate term, nobody is stating the case for Clinton. Radio is an appallingly bad environment for anything pro Clinton, or even fair to her.

If you want to listen to me live, plus keep this show going, I need you to get involved. This can't be a one shot effort either, but an ongoing campaign. Write, spread the word to friends, especially those who are Hillary supporters, send emails. Tell them you'd listen if I was a host on their airwaves. It could make the difference.



I particularly like the part where she says it's hard getting back on the radio. It has already been discovered that she was NEVER "on" as she claims. She payed an AM station in Vegas to carry her show..(not normally considered to be legitimate radio) She treats her vanity radio show(now a podcast) as thought she has been a real Radio personality that "got dropped"... truth is she "got dropped" because she stopped cutting them a check.

31. Not hiring someone for a job is not "silencing" them. No one owes Taylor Marsh
a living. (Except perhaps the Clinton campaign.)

46. here you go.
http://www.taylormarsh.com/pdf/taylor_book.pdf

and a review of it here:

My Year in Smut includes a story about Marsh's short stint as a phone sex operator. If you were dialing a $3.95/minute 900# back in the late 80s and masturbated while talking to "Lisa", you may have been chatting with Taylor Marsh!

This non-cult has a lot of McCarthtesque tendencies. The scary thing is McCarthy did not have a legion of drones standing behind him...

Edited on Tue Apr-15-08 10:06 PM by Zachstar
Air America in my view is little more than a clusterfuck of shit these days.

Years ago I could tune in to listen to Jerry and Al Franken which was a big big draw to the network for me. Afterwards I listened to Rhandi and Maddow. These days the network is so filled with boring shows in my view that its on its way down. And then the contract shit with Rhandi sealed it.

Air America is done in my view!

50. I don't understand
Why would Air America hire somebody who will use her show to constantly talk about a NY senator?

Is Air America a NY only station?

Sure, I'd like a 3 hour show each day talking about Biden, or Feingold, or Harry Reid. But that seems a little too narrow minded to run across the country.

she is always railing against Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Feingold, Kennedy, Richardson, Kerry, and anyone else who doesn't endorse Hillary or stand in her way. She is always attacking them and calling them the sexist "progressive" elitists of the party.

58. Who cares?
Air America can hire whoever they want to hire. I won't listen to her, just like I won't read her, but people who like her will. Again, who cares? Keeping people off the air is nothing I want anything to do with. When Clinton got an MSNBC reporter suspended, Obama supporters were up in arms. Taylor Marsh is an idiot and will sink herself, like the Clinton campaign. Stifle these impulses to censorship, it's not healthy in a democracy.
